Explaining Industry's Soldiers

I certainly get the gist of what you're saying. There is no doubt Muslims are trying to kill us. By "us" I mean you, me, my wife, my daughter, your wife, your daughter. So we must stop the Muslims from doing that. And we certainly will continue to try. As mammals we will at some point fight them to the death to prevent ourselves and our familes from being killed. There is no way that words or images will alter that present fact. Even rats will fight when cornered. Nor would I want to alter that. Not that I'm comparing ourselves and our families to rats but the point is even rats deserve a fighting chance to survive. If somebody tries to kill my family, or me, I will go down trying to kill them if I get any chance to fight at all. I'm sure you will too. So we are in agreement on that point. When I say agreement, I mean real fight-them-to-the-death agreement, and that must be clear.

But when you and I are here way behind the front lines and not on the battlefield where bullets are zinging and bombs are exploding, there is an opportunity for us to reason together about our present conflict and make sure that we are actually engaged in action that will protect ourselves and our families and not, instead, fighting like cornered rats destined to lose.

In spite of the appearances to the contrary, I think we're presently fighting a losing battle in the world today.

"Industry's Soldier" is designed to spotlight why we will lose the War On Terror.

A one sentence definition of what the video is trying to say goes like this: We will lose the War On Terror because the priority structure we are trying to impose on the world is the rankest idolatry.

I know the video doesn't come right out and say that, but that's the subtext of the whole piece. So let me take subtext and bring it out in the open. What I am trying to suggest in that film is this: if the God of Abraham is actually out there, we the people of the USA, by raising the survival of the species to a higher priority than the worship of God, are guaranteeing the destruction of the USA.

Review the video and you'll see how it made that point.

The video points out that today the USA, as the world's only super power, is forging a new coalition (aptly named the coalition of the willing). The goal defined by my make-believe President Bush in "Industry's Soldiers" is actually the goal the USA is today attempting to impose on foes foreign and domestic. That goal is the survival of all as the highest priority on earth.

Here's why choosing survival as the highest priority creates never ending warfare. When homo sapiens takes as its highest goal the survival of self, then the nature of the planet (human nature? what the Bible calls "the flesh?") requires conficting tribes (pygmies, et al) to kill each other when a certain threshold of "foreignness" is passed. Talking about the pygmies in that film was my way of dramatizing the fact that people start killing each other when a certain threshold of strangeness, of "foreignness," is passed.

As "Industry's Soldiers" demonstrates, President Bush has a solution to that problem. The solution involves raising the threshold of "foreignness" so high that literally any tribe of homo sapiens, any people group--even abortionists and homosexuals and adulterers and fornicators and God knows what comes next--can go under it as long as they cooperate with the contemporary (and temporary) rules laid down by the present federal government of the United States of America.

There is one reason why choosing survival as the highest priority creates unending warfare on earth. The survival of our species is not what the Holy Bible says is the highest priority of the God of Abraham. The God of Abraham has made His highest priority the glorification of Himself, not the survival of His creatures. In fact He says He created His creatures precisely because He desired to be glorified. ^{Isaiah 43: 7Even every one that is called by my name: for I
have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made
him.}

If people refuse that priority and try to substitute any other "highest" priority, the Holy Bible makes clear to anybody with eyes that see that the God of Abraham will kill them and start over with people committed to His priorities rather than priorities they make up for themselves just like He did with Noah and the flood, or with Adam and Eve in the garden, or with...well, pick any secular regime throughout the course of recorded history and put its name next. Please actually think about this point. The Bible says that God actually destroys people groups that attempt to make any priority higher than the worship of God. The Bible defines idolatry as nothing more or nothing less than creating a priority higher than the worship of the God of Abraham.

Over against the present system of George W. Bush that I tried to portray in "Industry's Soldiers" is another system advanced by Muslims. "Industry's Soldiers" does not directly say anything about that "other" system, but the presence of that "Muslim" system was behind every word the President and his men said in the film.

In order to make sure I am heard now, I must define what I mean by Muslim. By Muslim, I do not mean the "secular" Muslims like the people we have enthroned in Iraq. Those people are nominal Muslims in the same way that George W. Bush is a nominal Christian. To such people, being Muslim or Christian is a name for their tribe and has nothing necessarily to do with their worship of God. They are all willing (the coalition of the willing) to cooperate with the agenda of the United States of America because they have accepted the survival goal of the USA as their own rather than making the glorification of God their highest priority. As my President Bush demonstrates, they are survivalists working for the leader of the survivalists. As I am using the word Muslim, the people who cooperate with the federal government of the USA in the Middle East and elsewhere cannot be anything more than nominal, or secular, Muslims because Muslims, as I define them, are people who choose to do the priorities of the God revealed in their Holy Book rather than any other priorities.

Al Qaeda exists because there is a definition of priorities different than the one the real President Bush is imposing on the world in the name of we the people of the United States of America. To those people, instead of the survival of our species being seen to be the highest good, the worship of God is held up to be the highest good.

Muslims who believe in that priority are willing to fight us to the death. I believe it is a fundamental act of blindness to ignore the fact that there are many Muslim men in this world today who are trying to kill us, not because we threaten their survival, but because we threaten their ability to worship their God as they believe He has commanded them to worship Him. I use as evidence to prove this assertion the fact that they are blowing themselves up to kill us. That proves at least that they did not count their own, personal survival as their highest priority.

Of course, men have always been willing to die in warfare. That fact does not prove they are dying because they are motivated by a belief that they are fulfilling God's priorities. Steve Earle has a song about mercenaries where the mercenaries sing, "We'll fight for no country, but we'll die for good pay--under the flag of the green back dollar or the peso down Mexico way." But the Muslims we are fighting--at least the Muslims who have merged themselves with Al Qaeda--are not mercenaries.

It seems to me to be a fundamental fact of the conflict around us today that some men are dying, not for the green back dollar, but for something they call God. If you remember the article I wrote called "Leaving Las Vegas: How Las Vegas Fueled the 9/11 Terrorists" I documented the process that has been developing in nominal Muslim nations where some Muslim men--and women--have quit being nominal Muslims and have begun to act like they have raised their service to their God to the highest priority a human being can raise anything--to the place where they will die for it.

I know most of what can be said about the Mohammedan faith and the Mohammedan understanding of God. And I think you know that I am unwilling to have the Mohammedan faith replace the faith that has been handed down to me by the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ acting through the power of the Holy Spirit. But, that said, if I had to bet (and we do have to bet; we have to bet our lives) who the Living God will allow to win a battle for hegemony here on earth if we force Him to choose between Mohammedans who cling to the promises God gave to Ishmael and people who have raised the survival of our species up as the highest goal of mankind, I would have to bet on the Mohammedans in the long run.

Now obviously in the short run, the federal government of the USA is still rolling behind the momentum gained during the Second World War. But the Big Mo is waning. Momentum is dying because we the people, even those of us who call ourselves Christians, have sacrificed the priorities of God and replaced them with the priorities of the flesh.

My video portrays a world where the people are conditioned to move boldly into the future believing that the god defined by President Bush will help them survive in the new world order presently being forged by the USA. The video ends on a note that does not clearly hint at what I see coming in the future. Let me say that now.

I have no doubt that if we continue in the path we presently walk in that God will damn us, if not to hell, at least to some kind of earthly purgatory where, if we survive, we end up watching some Mohammedan Potentate raised up over us just so God can prove to history that, to the Living God, a serious Monotheist is better than a lukewarm secular humanist anytime.

So if we're going to fight, let's make sure we're not singing Steve Earle's song under the flag of the green back dollar. If we have to fight Muslims, let's make sure the battle is over whether the Lord Jesus Christ will be king, not some green back dollar Mammon idol with a penis on one side and a huge vagina on the other with both organs ceaselessly spewing out and taking in abominations like we are today.

That's why The Creator's Rights party must be supported. It is a body that can raise these matters about the Will of God to the place they deserve to be raised in this nation today. There is nothing else on the horizon that might do it. So I am left with no option except to persist. I hope I can count on your support in that effort. Can I?
